What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?

The school's role in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy should involve providing comprehensive sexual education, nonjudgmental support, and resources. This includes ensuring access to information about contraception and reproductive health, offering counseling services, referrals to healthcare providers, and assistance in obtaining information from professionals in parenting, adoption, or abortion. Respect for the autonomy of both the student and their parents is crucial, creating a supportive environment where decisions can be made without fear of stigma. Ultimately, the goal is to empower the student to make the best decision for their circumstances, ensuring their well-being and educational success.

ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Neutral

I respectfully disagree with the assertion. Research and historical evidence suggest that an unchecked free market can lead to negative consequences such as greed, deception, and the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few. Similarly, excessive regulation or control stifles innovation, growth, and access to resources. Instead, a balanced approach is necessary, where regulations are in place to prevent abuses while still allowing for competition and innovation.

What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?

I am for funding of public education from Pre-K through college. I believe it is essential for people to have access to a free education, particularly from early childhood education through at least two years of college or vocational training. Ideally, education should be free for all individuals. Numerous studies and examples from various countries demonstrate the societal and economic benefits of having a well-educated populace.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Teachers should be required to instruct students on mandated curriculum even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Agree

The foundation of education should be fact-based and non-biased, aligning with federal and state educational standards. Private schools offer alternatives for individuals seeking education that aligns more closely with their beliefs and values. It's crucial to maintain separation between personal beliefs and the objective dissemination of knowledge in public educational institutions.

EDUCATION

Abortion and gender-affirming providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.

Neutral

I don't believe that abortion and gender-affirming providers, such as Planned Parenthood, should directly offer instruction or services within schools. However, they could serve as valuable resources to provide information and support to parents and students outside of the school setting. This allows individuals to make informed decisions and seek appropriate assistance as needed.

Consistent discipline creates a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.

Neutral

Consistent discipline is crucial for a safe learning environment, but it must respect students' rights and dignity. Clear rules with interventions for non-compliance and parental involvement are key. Discipline should be fair and constructive, avoiding abuse to ensure students learn and want to participate in the school environment.

Do you believe print and digital material available or presented to students should be easily accessible for public review, including those without children enrolled in school?

Choose not to answer

Print and digital materials accessible to students is generally available for public review, often through school channels or public libraries. However, determining appropriateness for individual students lies with their parents. Those without children enrolled should respect parental authority in this matter, as parenting is a unique responsibility.

Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.

Neutral

Educators should indeed provide students with a thorough education in America's founding documents, including its history and different ideologies. This should encompass both achievements and the flaws and struggles faced by various communities, such as Native Americans, African-Americans, Chicanos, and other individuals. Patriotism should be understood as multifaceted, shaped by diverse experiences, cultures, religions, and ethnicities. It's crucial to teach a fact-based history.

I support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).

Strongly Agree

I fully support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). It's crucial to recognize and celebrate the contributions of all ethnicities, cultures, religions, and individuals, whether they were originally here or migrated and built the country. The United States is a diverse melting pot, encompassing people from various backgrounds, languages, religions, and sexual orientations. Embracing diversity strengthens our society and fosters a more inclusive and equitable community for all.

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Disagree

I firmly believe in the robustness and cohesion of the federal system of government, this includes the U.S. DoE. I believe in particularly the equitable distribution of funding throughout the United States, the federal system provides. Additionally, I advocate for states' rights, provided they uphold the rights of all citizens. Unfortunately, there appears to be a concerning pattern in certain states, where the rights of individuals are compromised to serve the interests of a select few.

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of the bureaucracy, through a program which allows parents the freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

Strongly Disagree

The state already funds public education, with tax dollars allocated for free education for K-12. Instead of implementing a system where dollars follow individual students, funding should be distributed equally among all schools. This ensures every school has the resources needed to provide quality education. Introducing “vouchers” could lead to overcrowding in perceived "better" schools and diverting tax dollars to private institutions, potentially violating the separation of church and state.

Which should students have: equity of outcomes or equality of opportunities?

Students should have equality of opportunities rather than equity of outcomes. Equal opportunities ensures a level playing field for all individuals to pursue their goals and aspirations. However, achieving equity of outcomes is not always feasible due to external factors beyond one's control, such as illness, economic hardship, or personal setbacks. By focusing on providing equal opportunities, individuals have a better chance to navigate life's challenges and pursue their desired outcomes.

VALUES

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

As an individual, I don't adhere to any particular spiritual or religious beliefs. I respect the diversity of beliefs that exist worldwide and support individuals in their freedom to choose their own spiritual path. Personally, I prioritize the separation of government from matters of personal faith, valuing the autonomy of individuals to practice their religion or spirituality without interference from the state.

Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?

The responsibility for teaching sexual education falls primarily on parents, but schools and society also play significant roles. While ideally parents would provide this education, the reality is that they may not always be available or equipped to do so. Schools serve as crucial educators, given their regular interaction with children and their role in shaping young minds. Additionally, society as a whole contributes to the upbringing of children, emphasizing the importance of a well-educated populace. Research indicates that comprehensive sexual education can reduce rates of teenage pregnancy and contribute to a healthier society. Therefore, it's essential to provide age-appropriate sexual education starting around ages 11 to 14, when most children begin puberty. This education should cover basic differences in sexuality, puberty, and the potential consequences of sexual activity. By starting at an appropriate age and providing accurate information, we can help empower young people to make informed decisions about their sexual health and well-being.

Sexual orientation and gender identity, promoting understanding, respect, and acceptance of diverse identities. 7. Physical and emotional health outcomes of sexual activity, highlighting potential risks and ways to maintain sexual health. By covering these topics comprehensively, sexual education can equip young people with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed decisions about their sexual health and relationships while promoting respect for themselves and others.

Children have a right to reach maturity without chemical or surgical castration, which would damage their healthy bodies through surgeries and may cause a life-long dependence on cross-sex hormones.

Neutral

Decisions regarding changes to one's body should be made collaboratively with healthcare providers and parents, taking into account the child's emotional and mental maturity. It's crucial that these decisions are guided by medical professionals and supported by family and friends, rather than influenced by external factors. Ultimately, a child's identity and bodily autonomy should be respected as personal matters, not subject to interference from the state or others.

Children have the right to be protected from sexual grooming (including drag shows and explicit materials) in schools and libraries.

Neutral

Children should indeed be protected from any form of sexual grooming, including exposure to inappropriate materials or events such as drag shows in schools or libraries. However, it's important to note that drag queens themselves are not inherently a threat to children. Research indicates that children are most vulnerable to grooming when there is secrecy and manipulation involved, often perpetrated by individuals with malicious intent.

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman essential to the formation and sustaining of a civil and prosperous society.

Strongly Disagree

Marriage has evolved over time and has historical roots beyond religion. It's fundamentally a union between two individuals based on love and commitment. While some may view marriage as a religious institution, it's ultimately a social and legal contract that reflects the bond between two people. Presenting marriage as solely ordained by God or essential for societal prosperity can overlook the diverse forms of relationships and families that contribute to a civil and prosperous society.

Agree

I agree that parents should generally have access to all records pertaining to their minor children, both in school and medical settings. However, if a child is 16 or older and seeking emancipation or has legal rights to privacy, exceptions may be warranted.

ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Neutral

I believe that some form of identification be applied in voting, only to prevent potential attempts at voter-fraud. This could be done by mail-in ballots to registered voters who confirm their identity with signature and address, or with a valid government issued identification or driver’s license.

EQUALITY

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Neutral

I disagree. Biological males who identify and are transitioning to female should be allowed to join women's sports with safety measures and rules like weight class and other specific safety photocalls in place. In shared spaces, transitioning individuals deserve equal rights. No evidence suggests they pose a threat; it's merely fear of the unfamiliar.

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?

Moderate

One cannot authentically advocate for universal freedom while favoring one side over another. As long as individuals retain their autonomy and strive to foster understanding, and unity within society, the principles of liberty and freedom endure within our Democratic-Republic.

2ND AMENDMENT

Faculty who are licensed to carry and have had ongoing training should be allowed to carry guns at school in order to respond to an active shooter situation.

Strongly Disagree

No, allowing faculty to carry guns at school is not wise. Despite training backgrounds, introducing firearms into educational settings poses significant risks. Furthermore, the potential for accidents, misuse, and weapons falling into the wrong hands is too high. Implementing sensible gun laws, rather than arming faculty, is the more effective approach to addressing safety concerns in schools.

OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

In the event of a pandemic, school districts can mandate whatever health precautions they deem necessary (including masks and vaccines) to protect students and staff.

Strongly Agree

School districts should have the authority to mandate health precautions, including masks and vaccines, during pandemics to safeguard the well-being of students and staff. Implementing measures like remote learning, as previously experienced, reflects adaptability and a commitment to protecting public health.
